Seeds of Change

Or should I say Seedlings of Change.

Carrots - I planted 3 varieties in 1 bed of tomatoes.
Plan on planting more at 2 or 3-week intervals.

Mustard greens in a bed of kale.

Closeup of swiss chard I just planted the other day
in the hopes that I can get at least a 2nd planting of them.
We love swiss chard...at least I love swiss chard.

Swiss chard - 2 varieties - Rhubarb and Fordhook Giant

Excellent info in this post. I've been getting a kick out of what I've been reading here lately.

Thanks so much for the compliments. I will do my best to keep it up through the holidays, but it sometimes gets hard working full-time, homesteading, etc. and then trying to keep up on the blog. Just the busy season for me. Whenever I have an urge to post, I try to stop whatever I'm doing and do it. Otherwise, it might not get done.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We all have so much to be thankful for.

About Me

My Photo
I'm an almost 50-year-old woman trying to create a more sustainable lifestyle for my family on our less than 1/5th acre urban homestead in south Florida. You're welcome to follow our journey as we attempt to grow as much of our own organic produce as our little yard can take, raise backyard chickens for eggs, compost, and amusement, try to reduce our carbon footprint, learn to preserve food by canning, freezing, and dehydrating, and hopefully turn our little urban homestead into a profitable venture.

About This Blog

My Edible Yard was created in an effort to spur myself on while publicly journaling my trials, errors, and successes in the creation of our urban homestead. The key word here is publicly as I am famous for zealously starting projects and then abandoning them. In making my south Florida urban homesteading experience public, I hope to force myself to continue on with the project and actually create a more sustainable life for my husband and me. So please send kind words of encouragement, gardening and cooking tips to keep me going. They are all much appreciated.
